- 02.067 William,” said Bert,
- 02.069 Bill Huggins,” says Bert,
- 02.070 when Bert dropped him on the ground,
- 02.071 in Bert’s big paw,
- 02.072 Bert and Bill stopped fighting immediately,
- 02.074 “I reckon you’re right,” said Bert,
- 02.079 and Bert got that end
- 02.081 that was Bert’s idea,
- 02.082 Bert thought it was William’s.
- 02.084 who thought it was Bert that had spoken.
- 02.085 “You are,” said Bert.

Beorn
The Old Scandinavian name Bjorn means “bear” and derivatively “warrior”
- 07.020 his name is Beorn.
- 07.040 and again,’ said Beorn.
- 07.048 and a little one at that,’ said Beorn.
- 07.052 I see!’ said Beorn.
- 07.054 thank you,’ said Beorn,
- 07.056 Go on telling, then!’ said Beorn,
- 07.062 growled Beorn.
- 07.064 Hullo!’ said Beorn.
- 07.065 but Beorn interrupted them.
- 07.072 said Beorn to the wizard.
- 07.074 Good!’ growled Beorn.
- 07.078 That’s enough!’ said Beorn.
- 07.082 Beorn did not show it more than he could help,
- 07.085 growled Beorn.
- 07.088 The interruptions had really made Beorn more interested
- 07.089 in Beorn’s garden.
- 07.092 Beorn clapped his hands,
- 07.092 Beorn said something to them
- 07.093 he put Beorn’s big black chair
- 07.093 so soon they were all seated at Beorn’s table,
- 07.094 Beorn in his deep rolling voice told tales
- 07.095 but Beorn seemed to be growing drowsy
- 07.095 and Beorn did not appear to care for such things:
- 07.097 Beorn was gone.
- 07.105 but not I think for Beorn.
- 07.105 but I warn you all not to forget what Beorn said before he left us:
- 07.107 and whether it could be Beorn
- 07.111 We have been about looking for Beorn ever since the sun got up;
- 07.113 waited on by Beorn’s wonderful animals,
- 07.113 Of Beorn they had seen
- 07.117 I soon saw that Beorn could not have made them all:
- 07.120 still puzzling his little head about Beorn,
- 07.121 by Beorn himself.
- 07.122 Beorn was most jolly for a change;
- 07.123 that of yours,’ said Beorn,
- 07.125 Come and see!’ said Beorn,
- 07.125 Beorn was a fierce enemy.
- 07.129 Soon after midday they ate with Beorn for the last time,
- 07.130 But Beorn had warned them
- 07.130 Beorn advised them to take this way;
- 07.131 Beorn had said,
- 07.132 and Beorn’s house
- 07.133 for Beorn had said
- 07.136 Beorn is not as far off as you seem to think,
- 07.136 Beorn may be your friend,
- 08.008 It was well that Beorn had warned them against it,
- 08.034 and now the bows that Beorn had given them were useless.
- 08.055 and of Beorn.
- 08.079 O! why did we not remember Beorn’s advice,
- 10.003 on the advice of Beorn
- 13.039 out of one of Beorn’s wooden bowls!’
- 14.040 Beorn had heard it
- 18.022 in that last hour Beorn himself had appeared –
- 18.023 Then Beorn stooped
- 18.043 and beside them strode Beorn,
- 18.043 Moreover Beorn was going that way too.
- 18.051 and Beorn for much of the way –
- 18.051 to the doors of Beorn’s house;
- 18.051 and wide to feast at Beorn’s bidding.
- 18.051 Beorn indeed became a great chief afterwards
- 18.051 in heart like Beorn,
- 18.052 and Gandalf took their leave at last of Beorn,
- 18.052 for the flowers of the gardens of Beorn
- 19.005 in the house of Beorn;
Bladorthin
